Chapter 14

It felt like a vivid and painful slap in Amanda’s face.

She was so furious that she turned around and quickly left the place in embarrassment with Janice following close behind.

Serenity felt like she had just watched a drama unfold before her eyes. As soon as they exited the mall, they had witnessed someone smashing a car, which turned out to be Amanda’s.

“What happened? Did she offend someone and that was their revenge?” Serenity wondered.

He was also staring unblinkingly at the bus stop.

“What’s wrong?” Serenity asked.

“It’s… nothing,” Jackson replied as his expression gradually returned to normal.

That had been a mistake, right? He thought the woman who had just boarded the bus looked like a certain other woman he knew…

A woman who had once abandoned her husband and child.
